My chameleon's poop is dangling from hair. Is it safe to pull?

Soak her in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. Gently massage her abdomen during the soak to stimulate defecation. If it doesn't help, Baby should be examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. I wouldn't recommend mineral oil until after you try an extended soak and a veterinary visit.

Check the temperature in the cage. Make sure it isn't too high or too low. Soak Cheech in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. This will provide warmth and hydration. She should be seen by your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet as soon as you can to diagnose injury or infection.

It does look like it could be improper shed in that area. I really think it is best to get him to a reptile vet for an exam. After they look at him in person they can probably give you better advice.

Check the temperature of the enclosure. Low temps can affect appetite and activity in reptiles. Soak her in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte for 20-30 minutes daily to treat or prevent minor dehydration.

If the behavior persists, have her physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles to diagnose and treat illness or injury.

You can try to ease it out. Use some vaseline and gently massage the outside of the rectum to stimulate her. If this doesn't work, then visit your vet to have some help here; however, unless it is stuck to hair it should come out on its own. You can also try a warm saline only enema to see if that can loosen things up. Best of luck to you and I hope that you get Fluffy comfortable soon! Take care.
